Jorge Verdín (April 5, 1965 – April 16, 2024), known professionally as Clorofila, was one of the pioneers of the Nortec (norteño-techno) musical style that originated in Tijuana, Mexico. Clorofila first came to prominence as a member of Tijuana-based music project Nortec Collective, a group formed by various individual producers and performers. He participated on both Nortec Collective albums (Tijuana Sessions Vol 1 and Tijuana Sessions Vol 3) under his Nortec identity Clorofila. After the break-up of the collective, Verdín recorded and released two solo albums as Clorofila (Corridos Urbanos and Ahorita Vengo) and two as Tremolo Audio (Visitas and Panorama), and co-wrote and co-produced an album of atmospheric post-rock with José Luis Martín under the name Observador. Verdín also created music for theatre and sound design under his name.
